# The social media landscape

Lee Rainie was asked to present about the state of social media, in particular how non-profit groups might think about using social media to promote their missions. He cites the newest data from Pew Internet Project surveys and describes how the “messaging environment” for non-profits is changing. He also describes how digital technologies affect the operations and outreach strategies of members of organizations.
